PC Porcelain Buttons

[summer_of_joy]

Hi all!
I know I've made a PC for Porcelain Buttons before, however I'd like a new one after the discovery of some faults. Please help!

So Buttons is in lovely condition, however it seems that a previous owner has once upon a time damaged her leg and then glued it back on. While it's really nicely done you can see some shine from the glue and if you look underneath you can see a line where the porcelain was cracked. I personally don't feel like it'll detract from her beauty on display, but nevertheless she's been broken.

I'll attach the photos that shows this as clearly as I can manage.

You can see the crack on the back leg, that's lying on the surface.

You can see that the flash is reflected in the clear glue.

The PC I got before was $75. How much do you think the leg will affect the value?

I have no price idea but she is sooo lovely !!

I'd think around $60. The repair is well done so only your pickiest collectors are going to care much. I'd still put her in my collection and I'm pretty picky!

Bibinettepony; yes, all the porcelains are really lovely!

spottedslug; Yeah, I was kinda thinking around $60 too, but second opinions are always welcome!

I'd say between $50 and $60, and that would depend a lot on who is looking for her.  While her flaw is well repaired it's still there, and porcelains are more of a specialized collection than a normal vinyl pony so a lot of porcelain collectors are less tolerant of flaws than they would be on other bits of merchandise.

Thanks Skeen!

Skeen is your porcelain expert! So I would always go with what she says. Its a good repair so the $50 mark sounds spot on for me.
